A word of caution for beginners (like me). The models are quite elaborate and tricky to make. I would suggest practicing on a much larger piece of paper first, like a squared piece of newspaper or (better still) a piece of artist's newsprint paper.

Rating: ![1 stars](http://www.reviewfocus.com/images/stars-1-0.gif) Summary: Worst book ever! Review: This is the worst book I ever ordered at Amazon. Andrew Pang, educated in Hong Kong, had a brilliant idea: To write a book about folding paper spaceships. The future meets the past, Star Trek vs. Origami. And indeed the vs. is quite appropriate, because just as in a bloody fight, the outcome is NOT PRETTY! Poorly illustrated and badly written, this book delivers nothing at all. It promises to take you through Origami step by step, even though you may be a beginner, but nothing could be further from the truth. Example: On page 5 there's a poor illustration of a strangely folded paper. The "step by step instructions" are limited to one line, and it's impossible to make out how the paper is to be folded, what it has to look like in original production and how you accomplish what is known as the "outside reverse fold". So all in all, I can't recommend this book to you - if it was the last book on earth I wouldn't use it to fold a blanket to wipe my nose in.

Review: Well.....what struck me is that there is nothing like this in the market...Can't wait till Christmas when I can give a special present that is interesting to both my Star Trek fans & crafty, origami friends. In need of bigger metallic paper for folding - and where is the colour!?....what an amazing idea.... as a fellow trekkie, one wonders how much one will actually get to grip with the folding.... but that's not the point... the point is, that it's just a GREAT idea which takes forward the whole genre.... well done and "make it so... ENGAGE....."
